If you are going to make a propaganda film then in this we have two of the greatest names of the British 20th century. The happy band of actors contribute to a remarkable film, designed to convey the role of civvies and British army retreating from occupied France.
Stirring stuff. It helpfully conveyed the loss of life for civilians and sacrifice made against the odds in a war weary Europe and especially Britain.
Loosely based on a true story of a hero sent to bring home machine gun making equipment behind enemy lines the film is a wonderful triumph.
Comedy, heroism, sacrifice and pathos. Well it was wartime Europe. Watch it and enjoy as a piece of remarkable theatre.
10/10.
